Chocolate is one of my favorite food groups.  NOAA put out an article this week on how changes in climate are expected to affect the availability of cacao beans, the prime ingredient in chocolate.  Perfect timing for Valentine’s Day!  Surprisingly, it is not the increase in heat that will hurt the beans, but the lack of humidity.  You can read more about it here.
